Head of Project Management

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful planning, delivery, and completion of a range of projects. The successful candidate will take ownership of project objectives, timelines, budgets, and quality standards, ensuring that work is delivered efficiently and in line with agreed requirements. This role will involve coordinating cross-functional teams, managing stakeholders, and maintaining clear communication throughout the project lifecycle.

Key responsibilities will include defining project scope, preparing delivery plans, allocating resources, and tracking progress against milestones. You will identify and manage risks, issues, dependencies, and changes, escalating matters where appropriate and implementing effective solutions. You will organise project meetings, produce regular status reports, maintain accurate documentation, and ensure that decisions and actions are clearly recorded. The role will also involve monitoring budgets and expenditure, supporting procurement activity, and ensuring that project outcomes meet business, customer, and regulatory expectations.

Applicants should have proven experience managing projects from initiation through to closure, ideally within a complex or fast-paced environment. You will be confident working with senior stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams, with strong organisational, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Excellent written and verbal communication is essential, along with the ability to prioritise competing demands and adapt to changing circumstances. Experience with project management methodologies, planning tools, risk management, and performance reporting is desirable. A relevant professional qualification or recognised project management certification would be advantageous. Above all, we are looking for a proactive and collaborative individual who can build effective relationships, take accountability for delivery, and consistently achieve high-quality results.
